Vietnam: Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An & Saigon
Vietnam was made for bicycling! Traveling from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in the south, you’ll probe the hidden chambers of an imperial city in Hue, explore Hanoi and Hoi An on guided tours, and roll past duck farms, oyster-fishing villages, palm forests, and rice paddies on easy cycling routes. Along the way, you’ll meet modern villagers practicing a traditional way of life and enjoy exclusive events such as a cooking class, visits to a local market and a rice-paper workshop, and a meeting with a wartime foe who is now a friend of VBT. It’s an in-depth experience that touches all the senses as only a bicycling tour from VBT can provide.
Tour Highlights
- Explore Hanoi on two guided tours and a cyclo (rickshaw) ride.
- Attend a performance that’s unique to Vietnamese culture: a water puppet show.
- Delve into Vietnam’s ancient history on a guided tour of the Imperial City and the Forbidden Purple City of Hue.
- Admire shifting landscapes of fish and duck farms, rice paddies, palm forests, mountains, and coastline on scenic cycling routes.
- Savor the local cuisine—including a hands-on class at a cooking school.
What to Expect
This tour offers easy terrain throughout the trip and is suitable for beginning cyclists and ideal for regular recreational cyclists. Roads are carefully selected but in general are not of the same standard as in Europe or the U.S. Road surfaces can be a mix of pavement and packed soil. Potholes are not uncommon, and defined lanes are not a given. A mix of vehicles, animals, and pop-up enterprises can be found along urban roadways.

Our guides, Dinh and Kha, were superb. Their English was excellent, and I appreciated their teamwork with each other and their willingness to share stories from their personal lives. They struck an excellent balance between the biking, which was easy - as advertised, and seeing important historic and religious sites. I was so moved by what the Vietnamese people have accomplished with their liberation, the beauty and fertility of the countryside, and the welcoming attitude of everyone we met! Bathroom breaks - very important to me - were well-timed and clean. I do agree with others' negative comments about tipping.The…
